Ruddlesden-Popper phase A2BO4 oxides: Recent studies on structure, electrical, dielectric, and optical properties

Abstract

In the last two decades, structure and properties of Ruddlesden–Popper phase (RP) A2BO4 oxides with K2NiF4 structure, have been widely investigated. But to the best of our knowledge, no review article is available in the literature on recent studies on these oxides. Therefore, in this article, recent studies on structure, electrical, dielectric, and optical properties of these oxides have been reviewed. Special attention is put on to highlight the effect of doping and oxygen stoichiometry on the structure and properties of these oxides. Further, important applications of these oxides have also been mentioned in this article.
